Distributor Mounting screw and locking nut
Anyone have an idea for a wrench modified for loosening the nut that locks the distributor in place? This is a real pain to loosen using the after market exhaust manifold. After the nut is loosened it is easy by using a screw driver to unscrew the locking screw. Any help or pictures of a modified wrench would be appreciated. Afordman31

Re: Distributor Mounting screw and locking nut
Maybe a picture would help since I'm not sure what kind of manifold you have. But, most folks have a few wrenches that have been 'warped' to suit their needs.
I've not seen an instance where a straight 9'16" didn't work. |

take a 3/8 fine threaded bolt and cut it the same length as the screw turn the end down and just use a 9/16 wrench on it. be careful not to over tighten the bolt.

A 90 degree screwdriver works

I did about the same thing on a used HC head. I bought the head at a swap meet and didn't notice that the threads were stripped in the head. I had to go with the next larger size bolt and retap the head
